Received the Black Darwin clownfish and it’s already showing a nice dark pattern. It’s active and seems healthy. The coloration is a bit orange at first, but I expect it to darken over time. Great for a beginner aquarium setup.

The fish arrived quickly and looks vibrant. It’s not fully black yet, but has a nice contrast with the tank decor. I’m happy with the purchase and will keep it for a few months to see the color change.
Sally Turner –
Perfect addition to my reef tank. The fish is lively and interacts well with other tank mates. I noticed some brown tones initially, but it’s developing into a deeper black. Very satisfied with the quality.
